Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the Oxford Spine Tank Protector made from?

The protector is made from a durable, clear material designed to offer protection without altering the bike's appearance.

Will this protector yellow over time?

The material is designed for UV resistance to minimize yellowing, but prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight may cause some discoloration over extended periods.

Can I remove the protector if I no longer need it?

Yes, the protector can typically be removed. Applying gentle heat with a hairdryer can help soften the adhesive, making removal easier and cleaner. Residual adhesive may require cleaning.

Is this protector suitable for sportbikes?

While the protector is clear, it's specifically designed for cruisers and trikes. Its shape and size may not be optimal for the distinct tank designs of sportbikes.

How long does the protection typically last?

With proper care and application, the protector is designed to offer long-lasting defense against everyday wear and tear for several riding seasons.

Does the protector affect the fuel cap operation?

No, the protector is designed to cover the main tank surface and should not interfere with the operation of the fuel cap.

Troubleshooting

Protector not adhering properly

Ensure the tank surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Re-apply heat gently with a hairdryer if needed, and press firmly.

Air bubbles trapped under the protector

Carefully lift the edge of the protector near the bubble and re-apply, smoothing outwards. For small bubbles, a pinprick might release the air, though this carries a small risk of damaging the protector.

Difficulty aligning during application

Peel back only a small section of the backing paper at a time to allow for adjustments before committing to a full application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle's tank surface is clean, dry, and free from wax or polish.
  2. Carefully peel the backing from the protector.
  3. Align the protector with the intended area of the tank.
  4. Gently press down from the center outwards, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go.

Compatibility:

This protector is specifically designed for cruisers and trikes. While its clear design offers general compatibility, ensure the shape and size are suitable for your specific motorcycle model's fuel tank.

Clean the protector with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the material and its adhesive backing. Regular cleaning will help maintain its clarity and adhesion.
